I somehow managed to remove the browser apk from the system folder to use Opera mobile, I didn't like the at&t logo, thinking I can restore the stock browser on a android factory reset, but the browser never came back. Does anyone have the browser apk that I can push to system?
If this is not the correct method, would you direct?
thanks in advance

ok I know I am not the brightest bulb here but I cant seem to get facebook sync to work anymore... I have removed a good handful of apps from the system but left the facebook ones alone. I have even tried to repush them back with no luck. and yes I have wiped the phone a few times with no change.
does anyone know what files are required for it to actually work?

I had sync issues when i removed friendstream.apk but i could still sync facebook it just constantly had the sync icon. You can try pushing the friendstream.apk back in. U should be able to leave out the widget if you want

You have to push this into the system/app folder while in recovery with the system folder mounted.

I'm not sure where you stored the friendstream.apk but i'm going to assume root of your c drive.
You have to boot your phone into recovery mode and then go to partitions and mount /system and then on your computer in the command line prompt type
adb push c:\FriendStream.apk /system/app/
Does anyone have the Sense Facebook apk (and odex, if it's needed)? I removed it and can't seem to find it posted anywhere.
Hi Guys,
Every ROM I flash I try to Freeze/Uninstall and remove from Boot Many, the YouTube App.
I don;t use it ever, but even if it says freezed successfully it still comes back after reboot.
What's so special about it and will it creat a problem if I delete it and main question is how?
Thank you

In my other android device experience, Nook Color / Simple Touch, YouTube is instrumental in the Google Apps authentication process. For instance to get market working on nooted versions of those devices you had to sign into YouTube first.
Why are you trying to get rid of it?

Never used it, if I need to I can view it in the brother. Just another app that loads up on boot and sits there using the battery

Fair enough. Why don't you give it a try? Make a nandroid backup and then delete the file via ADB in recovery mode (or move it to /data/local/tmp for easy restore). Clear Cache / Dalvik reboot and see if anything isn't working properly.
I would say you can delete via ADB in ICS but many people, myself included, are having issues mounting /system in ICS. It could be possible that this failure for /system to consistently mount could be why TiBu isn't freezing it properly.
Use root uninstaller, its how I have removed all system apps since my gb 2.3.1 days on my x10. A very effective method
Thank you for responces.
The proper way I found would be to transfer it to a User App and uninstall.

I use 7zip. open the archive and delete it, or add whatever .apk you desire. I always do this before I even flash a rom. Winrar should work fine, though.
I have a galaxy s 4g with gingerbread 2.3.6. I rooted it and that went well then deleted some factory things and accidentaly removed my messaging abilities. And now the android market app force closes so I cant update anything. IM A NOOB AND HAVE NO CLUE. What do I do?????????
Download the stock kg4 from my guide that is linked in my signature and extract the mms.apk from /system/app and install it. As for the market, try clearing the market data and cache (go to settings, applications, find the market and then click it and hit the clear data button

You don't need to download a whole ROM for one apk. The third link in my signature has all the stock GB apks. You likely need to reflash anyways or add back the apk's you deleted until you get market working. You probably deleted an apk the market needs in order to run. I've done that a few times. You can flash back to stock using the guide in the second link of my signature.
Next time instead of deleting the apk's rename them putting a '.bak' on the end of the file name then test how the phone does. That way you can remove the '.bak' if something goes wrong and determine what caused it.

Some root manager program, I forgot to mention that i reset it to factory. Damn. Its not reading the apk files that i am putting on the sd any ideas?
Start over. It will take too long to walk you through the non reflashing way. Follow the guide in the second link of my signature. It will put you back on Stock unrooted GB. Go from there. Reread my suggestion above before you start deleting things. Good luck.

Try removing the com.google.android.etc.etc apk from the Settings -> Apps -> Downloaded tab.
You can also try force closing/clearing data from Browser if it still shows up under Settings -> Apps -> All
Failing that, back up your important data, download the latest .zip file from ASUS, and follow the directions they have posted for it. I guess that should work.

com.google.android.etc is not there. Browser does not show up anywhere in my apps. Pulling my hair out.
So if I'm on 4.1 right now and I download the latest zip from Asus, that will not trigger an update since they already match right?
When I look at the Android Manifest in root explorer for Browser, it says Versionname:4.0.3-ww epad
SHouldn't that be 4.1??

Can someone PLEASE go into Root Explorer in system\app and grab the "Browser.apk" as well as the other "Browser..." file what ever it was. It is located right under "Browser.APK", I just don't remember the extension. I don't remember coz I wiped them both out. I think I had the older version of the file residing in there and hence wasn't able to install it.
Can someone please kindly do that for me and post? Thank you.

Are you running a deodexed custom ROM? Because otherwise, Browser.odex must also be there.

GREAT MANY thanks Husker! Actually I was able to downgrade to .30. Once downgraded, I got my browser back. Now it's already detected an update and I'm going back to JB.
Thank you for your help. It is greatly appreciated.
I need to reinstall the com.android.accessibility settings back on my phone. Does anyone know if there is a way to reinstall a file like that if it has been deleted? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was removing bloat and exporting files and accidentally deleted as opposed to exporting. I've been checking in root explorer to see if I can find it anywhere, but no luck. My brother picked up the same phone today, so I'll have access to the file, but is there a way to reinstall it that you know of? Thank you

Did you do a Titanium Back-up (TB) by any chance? If so, you can restore it from there. If you don't have TB I would highly recommend it as it has saved my ass on occasion.
If you don't have a TB of it you might be able to use root explorer and put the file in the proper folder location and then set the permissions correctly. Otherwise you may have to "push" it with ADB.

If you get the file from your bro, you can then move it to the correct location and set the permissions. Get the location from him. If it were me, I would just go back to stock. It really isn't that hard. I've done it on all the phones whether it's Samsung, LG, HTC, Sony, etc... That's just me though. LOL
